Ive had my VSA light on the dash come on while ive been driving for the past 2 days. What could be triggering this?

loss of traction? are you driving on the same route everyday or same route for the past 2 days?

e.g your car falls into a pothole or dip in the road and wheelspins.

If I remember clearly, if the VSA light comes on without u manually deactivating it from the button, it means that there is a fault in the system, better take it to the dealer for a check.

VSA is on? Point the car straight ahead instead of sideways. nuff said.

is it the orange hazard triangle coming on, or the actual VSA word?

is it coming on and staying on?

or just flashing on and off a couple of times?

when it does it are you driving 'spirited' ?

more info...

if your driving like a grandma, on even dry road... and the VSA word is coming on steady = take it to honda, VSA system fault...

if your driving a lil 'playfully' or its uneven/bumpy/wet road... and its the triangle flashing for a few seconds every now and then = VSA is stopping you from dying... thank your car and have a good day :thumbsup:

LOL if you take it to Honda they will probably just bill you two hours labour and write you a pretty note saying ''non genuine wheels fitted'' as being the cause of the issue..

the actual triangle and word 'VSA' stay on, the only time they dissapear is when you take the key out of ignition.

lol 'spirited' driving with 20"s? i sit on 2rpms the whole way to work, i dont thrash my car

i gotta get it checked out because its not normal (funnily enough it didnt come on today driving to work)

Something is broken if the "VSA" word is lit up. Let us know what the dealer finds.

as said by aaron... if the VSA word is lit up, there is a problem... take it to honda...

wheel size wont bother VSA unless you have different rolling diameter on different wheels lol
